Geometries and Energies of the Structures
In what follows the geometries of the structures discussed in the paper are presented. Each
geometry is presented framed in a table as a list of lines, each specifying the atomic number
and the (x,y,z)-coordinates in Ångstrom. We note that the atom sequence is not the same in
each structure, but the order in which the corresponding program selected to present the
structure.
Each table has a heading identifying the chemical structure by the abbreviation given in the
text, and the program under which it renders this energy (GAUSSIAN or TURBOMOLE). As
usual, an asterisk denotes a structure in the excited state. At the bottom, the absolute energy
obtained is reproduced to 8 decimal figures.
When a single structure is given and two energies are reported this means:
1. If it is a CI candidate, the reported TDDFT energies of ground and excited states at
that point, which ideally should be equal.
2. Otherwise, the structure has been optimized in the ground state with the program
indicated in the header of the Table, and a point calculation has been done for the
excited state (that is, this is a Franck-Condon excitation).
Energies in the paper for the ground state use as energy origin the minimum in S0 obtained
with Gaussian03. The energies appearing in the paper for the excited state structures are
computed with Turbomole, using as energy origin the minimum in S0 obtained with
Turbomole to have a coherent set of data.

Figure S4. Temporal changes in the absorbance measured at 370 nm at the stationary
absorption setup after the irradiation of the BSP/HEX with 410 nm, 3 mJ nanosecond pulses
for 4 minutes at 10 Hz (open black squares). The time between the end of the irradiation and
the beginning of the kinetics measurements is about 25 s. The solid line shows the fit with 1-
exp rise and the characteristic time of 45 s. For the reference, the irradiation experiment with
the same conditions was performed, but with the excitation far away from the absorption band
of BSP (at 550 nm, open red circles), showing no changes in the absorbance.
